I took the Video Creator Course because Jenn and Rachel are two creators that I have admired for a while now. I wanted so badly to learn from them and I just knew my art would never look the same. I was right. I just learned so much about what I'm capable of. I overcame a limiting belief that told me I wasn't creative. And I proved it wrong!

I took the Video Creator Course during a period of feeling super stuck creatively. I had an idea of what I wanted to say but no vision, and I felt really alone with where I was in my process. I had watched Rachel for years and I thought about taking this course for at least 6 months before taking the leap! I was ready to have some accountability and learn how to unleash some of that same creativity and power I saw reflected in Rachel's work.

My favorite thing about this course, was the Community! Starting any new hobby or creative endeavor is very intimidating, especially as a women of color. The virtual sessions whether it was 1-1 with Rachel/Jenn or the group classes made it easier to bounce ideas and get direct feedback. Being part of such a talented and creative was truly so inspiring to me. I loved how everyone's style/thought process shined through during the showcase and  how everyone interpreted the concepts in the workbook.

As a video producer at a brand, I wanted to be able to communicate more effectively with my editors and other members of the creative team. The Video Creator Course helped me more deeply understand the editing process, but the best (and unexpected!) side effect was the major improvement in my creative ideation at work and in my own personal creative endeavors.

This process was way more introspective than I expected. I thought I came in knowing myself and how I like to edit, only to discover I had so much more to dig and evaluate. In school, normally you wouldn't share your work in progress and only show up with the results. Revealing each step of the process was foreign and uncomfortable for me, especially with such a personal video.
